Mattituck Today we wrapped up our 2024 fishing season in much rougher than forecasted conditions. We put together a pretty nice catch of keepers! The first drop was the best for keepers with them favoring the early part of the tide and the rest of the day was a pick with the shorts biting well […] The post Wednesday ~ Nov 27 2024 appeared first on...

Mattituck Very tough day today after the last few days of some strong winds. Good short life but not as many keepers as we hoped for. Keeping an eye on Wednesday if the weather is good we are going.

We continue to sail daily here on the Marilyn Jean and – even though we’re now in the late November months – we’re still seeing some good bites. Over the past few days blackfishing has been hit and miss but mostly hit. There are days where we’re seeing more shorts than we are keepers but […] The post Fishing Report – 11 – 19 – 24: Still Biting But...

Mattituck Tough day fighting the strong full moon tides. Had a shot of keepers during the change of tide but the nicer fish definitely didn't want to bite once it cranked up. Back at it Sunday!
